Adequate fracture union in HCS mice. (a) Representative callus sections (Movat’s Pentachrome staining) of four exemplary types of osseous bridging to score fracture union 21 days after osteotomy: complete bridging (all four cortices bridged by callus), partial bridging (two to three cortices bridged by callus), incomplete bridging (callus present, but no bridging visible), and non-union (rounded cortices, minimal presence of callus). Images were captured with CellSens Standard V4.1, Olympus, https://www.olympus-lifescience.com/de/software/cellsens/Tokio, Japan. (b) Semi-quantitative scoring of osseous bridging in WT and HCS mice 21 days after osteotomy. n = 6 mice per group.
